I Am Here For You (IzuOcha)

Chapter 16: He Called Me Cute...

Ochaco POV

Oh my gods, oh my gods, oh my gods, oh my gods, oh my gods, oh my gods, oh my gods.

I was crashing and burning.

I was having one good relaxing study session, had some mochi earlier to keep me focused, I had music in, I was doing great.

THEN THIS GUY. THIS ,SOMEHOW ADORABLE AND HANDSOME AT THE SAME TIME, GREEN HAIRED DUMMY COMES IN AND "Oh hey Ochaco, your looking cute today, go on a date with me!" LIKE I WASN'T GONNA FLIP OUT!

And that same green haired dummy is currently doing his own College Algebra homework next to me borrowing my book.

I internally scream.

I get up from the table Izuku and I are working at and go to my desk in the corner of the room. I grab another pencil and pretend t try and find an eraser. In reality I'm trying to get my emotions under control.

All panicking aside, Izuku really did it. He worked up the courage to come to my room, and properly ask me out on a date. Not only that but he managed it without too much stuttering, legitimately called me cute, twice actually, and touched my hands without passing out. Who is this guy? If I didn't notice his legs shaking I would've though someone was impersonating him.

I was incredibly happy Izuku had done what he did, I just wasn't ready for it. Only a few hours ago he was struggling even helping e with homework... wait is this what he was actually trying to say earlier? That would make a lot more sense but... where did he get the sudden courage from?

I glimpse over at Izuku, still pretending to be searching for something. He now had in one of my ear buds (We were sharing), leaning over the table holding a pencil to his mouth calm eyes looking over the equations in front of him. The white shirt he wore complimented his green hair and those calm eyes. Its rare I see Izuku... truly calm. His eyes were calm and soft, you wouldn't even think he was focused on homework. No crazy mission to worry about, no broken limbs to worry about... just him, his homework... and me.

This is also the first time I've seen him this calm in this kind of atmosphere. He did JUST ask me to go out on a date with him. Usually he'd be begging to get out of here out of embarrassment, if anything his confidence has only increased from there! He stayed after I asked him too, he's calm, he's sitting really close to me... you would think we're already officially a couple... wow that's a wonderful thought.

Okay I feel my face burning again, why was I over at this desk? Wait... Why is the desk upside down?

"You alright over there Ochaco?" Izuku asked, not looking up from his paper. WHO IS THIS COOL IZUKU GUY?

"Yea yea! I'm good! Perfect even!" I say loudly, moving my arms in some kind of weird motion. However that made me start spinning in the air. I don't feel so good. I start floating towards Izuku, still spinning. Without looking up from his paper Izuku reaches one of his hands up, grabs me and pulls me down to the ground next to him. I release blushing furiously...

Ima marry him. WAIT. I shake my head vigorously. I'm falling apart here, how is he so calm!?

"Sorry Ochaco," Izuku said looking up from his paper at me. "I should've waited to ask you when you weren't doing homework, you're distracted..." He said. He started fixing my hair with his free hand from it being tossed around while floating. What. Is. Happening. Right. Now.

"No, no, its not like it's due today, it's only Saturday..."

"True, you do still have time. I can help you forreal this time if you'd like." Izuku said calmly, after finishing my hair.
